NIBP
13-7
Bedside monitors show an NIBP table displaying a chronological listing of NIBP
readings. The oldest data is at the top of the left column. Each reading contains
the time of the measurement and the pressure values for systolic, diastolic, and
mean. As new measurements are taken, the oldest data moves off the screen.
Central monitors display the last NIBP reading only.
Setting and Adjusting Alarm Limits
You can define alarm limits for systolic, diastolic and mean values. The factory
default setting for NIBP alarms is OFF. The default alarm limits settings for both
the adult and the neonate modes are listed in Table 1.
!
• If you remove one NIBP module and insert another without
purging data (via ADMIT/DISCHARGE), the NIBP table may
display data for two patients.
